The Wreck of the Good Ship Lollipop

A rhyming picture book for
good children and bad parents

Poem by William Gillespie
Drawings by Miriam Martincic
Designed by Miriam Martincic

This is a book about the dangers of candy and oceans. Set against William Gillespie’s wee epic poem, built on a metric pattern resembling tooth decay, Miriam Martincic’s hyperglycemic illustrations sizzle like Pop Rocks in Coca-Cola. For readers who find traditional children’s literature too saccharin, this story is spun from pure sugar, sea salt, tears, and the ability to find sweetness in suffering.
